The best companies to work for

You can avoid thinking about it all you like, but at the back of every student's mind is the fact you are going to have to enter the real world of work and get a job. Yep sorry guys, but the fun world of student life is going to come crashing down around you, but how bad it is depends on the place you work.

Luckily GlassDoor have done a bit of research and found the best companies to work for (so get checking their jobs page). Unlike other workplace awards, the Glassdoor Employees’ Choice Awards are based solely on the input of employees who voluntarily provide anonymous feedback about their job, work environment and employer over the last year.

The top spot went to Expedia with a 4.4 out of 5 with workers saying things like ‘Compensation is very competitive and they take into account work/life balance’.

There’s no surprise Google (and it’s swanky offices and free food) are in there or John Lewis, but considering the strikes - not sure who’s voting for the London Underground (maybe Boris, over and over again…).
